Rachel our bartender was outstanding. Very attentive, but more importantly, very personable. Jason the owner and the face in the front of the house is great. Makes a point to approach every table and talk with them. And the food is fantastic! A great place to have a drink and finger food or sit down for a great meal. I highly recommend Modern Plate for any occasion!

I've been here several times have never been disappointed honestly surprising the rating isn't higher, services top notch The food is top notch prices are reasonable also have a great selection of drinks this is the absolute perfect place for guys to bring a first date as well being that the menu because lots of pasta options and the inside dining area is really upbeat with cool music.

Very quiet at Monday lunch, which I appreciated. Food was delicious. Server was a bit slow with drinks at start but attentive and responsive otherwise.

We also appreciate your note about the drink timing and are glad to hear your server was attentive and responsive overall. Your feedback helps us continue to improve. We hope to welcome you back again soon for another relaxing and delicious visit.
I came it with a group of 8 guys last Sunday. We reserved well ahead. Our large table was ready for us, an extra guy joined us, no problem, they just slid an extra table over. Service was friendly and efficient. Special requests were no problem and we took good care of her too, The menu is diverse with plenty of selections in including an excellent brunch menu that a few of the guys ordered. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Drinks were good too. The guys complimented me on my choice of restaurant. We will be back. We found our Elmhurst spot when we're in the area. Forget about street parking, Use the free parking garage behind the building and the rear entrance.
Response from the owner:Thank you Ralph, for choosing Modern Plate and for taking the time to share such a detailed review. We’re glad everything went smoothly for your group, from having the table ready to easily accommodating an extra guest. It’s great to hear our team made special requests easy and provided friendly, efficient service. We love that your group enjoyed the variety on the menu, including brunch options, and that the drinks were a hit too. Hearing that your friends complimented you on the restaurant choice is a huge compliment to us. Thanks as well for the helpful parking tip for future guests. We’re excited to be your go-to Elmhurst spot and look forward to welcoming you back again soon!
